And you may ask yourself, "Why am I seeing this posted after seeing and reading the post from Monday morning's (6/16) post about this meet?
And you may ask yourself, "What does that mean for me?"
1) This is OUR TEAM's FIRST HOME LEAGUE MEET of the season against our friendly (but always competitive) northern rivals from the "dark forest" This is typically a large meet consisting of 200 to 300 swimmers and of course their respective families. With those numbers and the possibility of a summer time pop-up storm, it is very important to get this meet started on time and run smoothly through out so that we can complete all the scheduled events and wrap-up/clean up and close-up the pool before the pool's 10:00 PM curfew.
2) What that means to you, you and you (way in the back) is that your swimmers need you to sign up to volunteer for the remaining available meet volunteer and concession food/volunteer positions. The meet volunteer positions must be filled to begin and continue to run the meet. Any open/unfilled positions will delay the start and affect the length and completion of the meet. Don't worry if you never timed a swim meet and as you're standing at the end of the pool and water flowing underground with a stopwatch in hand... and you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?' and you may ask yourself, 'How do I work this?' Don't worry, we'll show you that it's so much easier than texting - there are only 2 buttons to use and you have the best view of the meet to see your swimmers. ;-)
So, same as it ever was, I ask that you please go more than once in a lifetime to the provided volunteer sign-up links and select a meet position and/or offer to donate concession food items and come and enjoy a good swim meet experience with your Welch Sharks.
Now that I certainly dated myself with those not so subtle references to a "Talking Heads" song, let's get serious and not waste more bandwidth.
- Please sign-up to volunteer - for each half volunteered you earn towards the end of season team drawing:
Swim Meet Volunteer Sign-up - Welch/Park Forest 6/19
Concession Food Sales Donation Sign-Up - Welch/Park Forest 6/19
- Please remember to bring your family drink donations to the pool tonight and Thursday. We are still very light on the soda.
- Lastly, let's work together and have a fun-filled summer swim league night.
